the walker between the folds

it is too much to say i am closer somehow to this
nothing everwhere
yet I can see
in hindsight

how things shift from then to when
how four turns to five than to three
how trees grow overnight
and vanish as hasty

this house is ours
thye say in croaking whispers
the one you only notice
one day a month

darkened window
that only looks out
from a block somewhere so

elsewhere
elsewhen

i cannot count
numbers lie

caught in an account
rattling abacus
of cracked bone
